Thoughts on Obama's Speech at Invesco.
Stage is set up like a Greek Temple.
No liquor for sale at concessions (You know the boxes will be overflowing)
Great a Toga party with no beer!
Instead of the "Parthenon" or the "Acropolis" I say we name this greek temple the "Stephanoupolis."
Celebrities will be spilling out all over the place.
American Idol's Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson to sing the Star-Spangled Banner. (BTW: no banners allowed!) Bruce Springsteen to sing afterwards.
The hottest ticket in Chicago will be in Denver tonight. Obama, Oprah, Chicago's Jennifer Hudson, no wonder Invesco is decorated to look like Soldier Field...all we need now is Mike Ditka pacing the sidelines.
Who's going??
Will it snow tonight??

It'll be covered.
I think it's overkill and whoever thought of it should have thought some more.

I'll be there.
The wif scored me a ticket and a ride down.
No beer sales is somewhat saddening.
Anyone else going? Beuller?

Here is the stage under construction;
And the idea of using classic architecture as a back drop is old news in politics. Hell here is a recent image to prove that;
And like a hudge percent of our public building are fronted by Greek columns, no?If some of the best times of my life were skiing the UP in -40 wind chill with nothing but jeans, cotton long johns and a wine flask to keep warm while sleeping in the back of my dad's van... does that make me old school?

You can park at my house and walk if you want. Not positive I will be here might go mtn biking, but it's one of the safer locations within a dozen blocks of the stadium. Originally Posted by MrZach

I agree with Tippster that this whole fiasco is poised to blow up in their face. It may not happen tonight, or tomorrow, but this thing is prime fodder for 501c ads down the road.
Oh, and to the OP, I think this speech would have been much more interestingI still call it The Jake.

Thanks Rideski! I'm ending up somewhere by the convention center (getting a busride from Fort Collins there - so I won't need a parking spot) and then taking a shuttle or the lightrail (?) to Invesco. I'm pretty much just following the wif around since she's the meal ticket for the night. Originally Posted by Rideski

Barry should have made the set look more like that movable palace that Xerxes had in the movie 300. Then he could come out all pierced up and say "That mean John McCain wants you to stand - I only ask that you kneel!".

I'm sure it'll have the same atmosphere ( and socialist rhetoric) of Fidel doing a soccer stadium in Cuba. Sad.

I love listening to his sob stories of "average Americans" who have suffered under Bush, who are suddenly going to flourish under him. Give me a fucking break.
Who are the morons that get pumped up over this shit? They meed to get out more, that's for sure.

Yeah, I know.... I guess I just don't associate with the kind of person that gets that fired up. None of my friends are psycho political fucks. Then again, if they were like that, they wouldn't be my friend.
